"Burning Man’s contract stipulates that no more than 1 square foot of debris per acre can be left behind after the event. The area where a human effigy is burned had nearly 7 square feet of trash after the event, according to the BLM."
1 acre = 43560 square feet, and over the 7 square miles of the event (= 4480 acres) that was the peak measurement? Get real.
"attendees — returned from a week of self-discovery and partying on the 'playa' — have the propensity to dump trash illegally"
I think you need to be fair and compare against the mess left at similar events.
Although it seems obvious Burning Man should provide trash bins - rubbish is generated in large amounts and they should accept that.
